Our unique "IMAGE GALLERY" in Acrobat format reproduces the photographs in a "photo album" suitable for quick full-screen browsing! Many of the photographs are accompanied by the NOAA caption. This format was designed to mimic the look and "feel" of a real book. There is no need to laboriously import images into a slow-loading program. We've also included the original image files, with some of the finest photographs provided in high resolution (about one MB per file).

This CD-ROM is designed to provide a convenient easy to use general reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. Vast archives of important government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review.

The documents are reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD.
